The Morgan Out Island 41 first appeared at the Annapolis Boat Show in 1970, where it displayed its tri-cabin arrangement with an aft stateroom, forward cabin, separate main saloon, private heads, and hanging lockers for personal gear. Morgan also added an air-conditioner, generator, diesel engine, and a shoal-draft keel for easy anchoring.
The Out Island 41 became the cruising boat of choice for coastal sailors, families, and couples who wished to live aboard. In its first year, 120 were sold. The next year, output reached one boat per day.
The attributes that made the Out Island 41 popular with cruising owners - living space and privacy - also made the boat a natural for bareboat chartering. The Out Island 41 was instrumental in the growth of the charter industry and a standard boat in Caribbean charter fleets.
Thousands of Morgan Out Island 41s were sold over a production run that extended into the 90's. Today, Out Island 41s remain a common sight in the Caribbean and the rest of the world where owners continue to appreciate this pioneering cruising boat."
'Monkeys Business' was comprehensively refitted in 2005 and again in 2009 when she received a full repaint here in Langkawi. New teak cabin soles were installed in the fore and aft cabins, the two Crusaire air conditioning units (16,000 btu and 10,000 btu) were thoroughly overhauled along with all the other systems. Bottom painted and zincs replaced 2010.
